OpenAI is planning to launch an AI web browser in the “coming weeks,” according to a report from Reuters. Sources tell the outlet that OpenAI could build its Operator AI agent into the browser, allowing it to book reservations, fill out forms, and complete other tasks on a user’s behalf as it moves toward an “agentic” future.

If OpenAI does start offering users access to its own browser, it would be following Perplexity, which released a browser with agentic AI functions on Wednesday. That browser, Comet, is currently only available to those with a $200 per month Perplexity Max subscription. Opera also released a "fully agentic" browser back in May.

The browser is slated to launch in the coming weeks and aims to use artificial intelligence to fundamentally change how consumers browse the web.

While Google has started to look into AI in its browser (as seen by AI overviews) it has yet to adopt anything quite like OpenAI or Perplexity. However, while it is a major change to the world of AI, it could also be a risky one and a move that companies need to get right, giving AI a lot of freedom over finacials and data.

Extensions installed on almost 1 million devices have been overriding key security protections to turn browsers into engines that scrape websites on behalf of a paid service, a researcher said.
